“Ethereum’s Deneb release and upcoming Devnet #10 promise a wave of exciting updates for CL clients, further enhancing scalability and usability in the world of decentralized finance and applications.”
The Ethereum network is moving forward with its plans for the Deneb-Cancun upgrade, and recent developments have been announced by the Ethereum developers. Prysm, an Ethereum client, has released version 4.1.0, which is laying the foundation for Deneb support. This release is an important step towards the upgrade and brings improvements to the functionality and security of the Ethereum network.
In addition to Prysm’s release, the developers have also revealed that a Deneb release for CL clients, known as “the summoning,” is on its way. This release will introduce two major modifications to the CL code specifications. The first modification involves incorporating the output from Ethereum’s trusted setup ceremony into the latest release of the CL spec. This inclusion will enhance the overall security of the Ethereum network.
The second modification in the Deneb release for CL clients is the implementation of a new gossip rule. This rule will prevent CL nodes from sending more than the allowed number of blobs per block. This modification aims to optimize the network’s performance and ensure that it operates smoothly.
To further test and finalize the Deneb-Cancun upgrade, the developers will launch Devnet #10. This devnet will serve as the final testing ground before the upgrade is deployed to public Ethereum testnets. Devnet #10 will allow the developers to iron out any remaining issues and ensure a smooth transition for the Ethereum community.
The progress being made towards the Deneb-Cancun upgrade is exciting for the Ethereum network and its users. These upcoming releases and modifications demonstrate the commitment of the Ethereum developers to continuously improve the network’s functionality, security, and performance. The Ethereum community can look forward to the deployment of the Deneb-Cancun upgrade to public Ethereum testnets in the near future.
